Spring is here

Despite the cold weather and the fact that the snow keeps threatening the snowdrops have started to peep through. The garden has a number of clumps of snowdrops straining upwards to catch the sunshine.
Elsewhere in the garden a number of the shrubs are starting to show signs of buds appearing so things are starting to look a bit healthier.
Why not spend a short break with us to make the long months pass a bit quicker?

Garden Wildlife

The garden is still full of wildlife even at this time of the year with the bird feeders attracting some lovely birds. However we had an intruder at the feeders the other day as a squirrel decided to attempt to get some of the nuts.
Pam managed to catch it in the act and it looks like some robber in a set of white overalls!!
We even managed to see a woodpecker at the feeders the other day but unfortunately we were not quick enough to get a photograph. Watch this space........

Breakfast Award

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the newly launched Breakfast Award by Visit England. Only 7% of B&B establishments throughout the country have received this award and the girls are thrilled that their quality breakfasts have been recognised in our recent assessment.
The fact that we source the majority of the components of our breakfasts from the local farms has paid dividends. Hayway Farm in Broadway and our own local Mabels Farm in Back Street have maintained their high standard of produce and we are pleased to keep using them.

The Folly Challenge

The recently launched Folly Challenge has been added to our breakfast menu. This option is so stacked that we had to buy new plates to fit everything on!
Several guests have risen to The Challenge and have only just managed to finish their breakfast. Check out the menu to see what all is included.
Can you manage the Folly Challenge? We look forward to welcoming you to the Cottage and we will ensure that you have a great break with us. Click here to see the whole breakfast menu.

Go on holiday on an egg.

If the thought of a big breakfast is too much for you when you stay with us why not go for the boiled egg option. We now have fantastic double egg cup holders which look the part with the large eggs that we get from Hayway farm in Broadway.

Fresh Fruit & Veg

For those guests who are having evening meals with us these days they are able to enjoy our home grown fruit and veg. New potatoes, cucumber, tomatoes, courgettes, chilli peppers and rhubarb are all used in the cooking just now.
Another couple of weeks should see the addition of apples, pears and plums to make the seasonal crumble even more delicious.

Nature on the Doorstep

For those of you who are visiting us soon please make a point of looking at the nest in the front porch with the five young baby birds. They are a delight. They are getting constantly fed so make sure and keep your head down as the parents make their approach flight!! This is the second year in a row that the same nest has been used so quite possibly the same parents.
